Running should be fun? Yes
Running should be easy? Yes
Running should hurt? No!

Running and walking are the simplest forms of exercise… One foot in front of the other… But why does it get so complicated?

Over the years more and more research has been done on running and whilst this has been excellent for progressing the sport, it has made what should be a simple activity more confusing, especially for those new to the running.

What should I wear?
What running gait should I use?
What cadence should I use?
What shoes should I buy?

Who is the Run Wise session for?
Those new to running or walking: this session helps prevent injuries, gives you ways to get fitter/faster/stronger.
Those who have been running for a while and are stuck or not improving as much as they would like.

What’s your goal?
Those who are stuck in an injury rut, or become injured time after time.

The sessions are run by Esher Townsend (link to bio), she is passionate about running and helping people run injury free. “It’s really sad when you hear people say they’d love to run, but they are ‘not made to do it’, or they gave up because of an injury. I believe everyone should be able to run or walk and enjoy it”.
